Ouch, sharp intake of breath,  I would have gone for a brushless motor and speed controller at much less.    <:(  Just my opinion.  Got a name for her yet ?

Yeah but then when u think arrow a new decaperm is £135 don't get me wrong i have used brushless in fast electrics and other types boats but u just can't beat a brushed motor especially a decaperm I no understand y my dad said there so good we fitted it in hull today and runs so smooth worth every penny :)

my dad fabricated a brass bit for the rudder for me as the standard white metal one is a bit rubbish and they wanted it super glued i wanted something i could solder on so i wouldnt have any trouble at the lake side when shes finished
